Today we’re playing Lady Gaga’s famous song Million Reasons on ukulele.

This emotive and powerful ballad has just four ukulele chords making it a perfect song for beginners to learn on ukulele. With simple down strums in the verse and full-sounding down-up strums in the chorus, you have the ability to make this song sound dynamic and emotional when just played as a solo ukulele player.

I perform this song on baritone ukulele, but you can also perform it on a standard-tuned ukulele without a problem (I include both versions of chords below).

First, listen to my performance, and then, once you’re ready dive into the ukulele chords for this song below (skip ahead and go right to the chords).

“Million Reasons” by Lady Gaga Baritone Ukulele Cover

Watch the video to hear me play Million Reasons on the baritone ukulele cover and get the baritone ukulele chords on the screen so you can play along with me.

In the video above, I chose to transpose and perform Million Reasons in the key of F. Lady Gaga originally recorded this song in the key of C. As a male singer though, I found it easier to sing in the key of F, however, if you’re a female singer, you may wish to play this song in the original key of C. I’ve included both versions below.

You can also play along with me using your standard-tuned ukulele, but you’ll need to look up the standard ukulele chord diagrams for the chords F, Dm, Bb, and C in the Ukulele Tricks Chord Library.
